Importing Mac Pages Documents

I have some trifold brochures that were created in Mac Pages. They're in landscape format to be folded over and mailed. Importing into the iPad Pages has been pretty much a disaster. First was the font issue (I used fonts that don't exist in iPad. I tried to delete the offending fonts from the source files but every time that I brought the files into the iPad, Pages complained about the fonts. I found it necessary to create new documents from scratch being careful to use only those fonts that exist in the iPad.
When I bring these documents into iPad Pages, several of my text boxes overflow which makes portions of the text invisible. Also, the image bullets (standard Mac Pages image) are roughly five times the correct size. When I try to shrink the images, they disappear completely and are replaced by dots. In an attempt to figure out what was taking place, I created a blank document to investigate and the only difference between "image" and "bullet" is that "image" is a larger dot.
Has any one else had similar difficulties?

Let's hope Apple really is working on this. I bought my iPad 2 hoping to use it as a backup work station for Pages and Numbers, only to find that these Mac and iPad programs aren't truly compatible because of the fonts issue.
So I feel as if I now own a very expensive toy -- on which I'm delighted to have wasted an additional $20 in worthless apps. Who knew Apple would be completely secretive about a major design flaw?

How can I [cmd]+A including text boxes? Or how to import one Pages document into another Pages document?

Hi there,
I am working on my thesis with several Pages documents (for the first time). And I really have searched all over the Internet to find an answer to exactly my question but I cannot find it.
First my question was: How can I import one Pages document into another one? I found the answer on that (I think) and there is nothing else than just make a new section and copy/paste it in.
But then another issue pops up: I cannot [cmd]+A my whole document including the texboxes to paste it in the other Pages document. Then the document will be paste without the textboxes (and I have quite a lot of them in that document) and the text will not be at the right place.
So please explain to me: How I can combine two Pages documents and keep them exactly the way they are? Is that even possible?
I thank you so much in advance!

Hi Fruhulda,
I have already tried to mark the textboxes in line but that did not work, and besides then the text and the boxes won't be at the rigt places either. Thank you for your reply .

Is it possible to convert a Mac (Pages) document to Microsoft Works

I was wandering if it's possible to convert a Mac (Pages) document to Microsoft Works? Our main computer that we use is our Mac Desktop Computer but I have an HP laptop (which I'm about to throw out the window) that I sometimes use when I'm working on a project and I get tired of sitting in front of the desktop. My HP laptop has Microsoft works. If converting from Pages to Microsoft Works is possible please let me know how this can be done?

File > Export
Type Export into the help search field and it will highlight the menu for you.
This works for other menu options too.

Footnotes or endnotes in iBooks Author???? (Including, but not limited to, trying to import a Pages document with footnotes)

I find it difficult to believe that there is no way to use footnotes in iBooks Author, but I have tried every avenue that I can think of, and cannot find the way?? It won't even copy the notes from a Pages document when I try to import it.

Seems like a wholly unique problem to your environment, in which case you may want to walk that new MB into the nearest Apple Store and ask for assistance there.
Good luck.

Image blurred after import into pages documents?

Hi there, I've been working on the user manual of my software these days. I found out that everytime I took screenshots, they were clear --- as clear as the screen, and after inserting to my pages documents, the images got blurred badly.
I've checked the size, and they were identical, which means there are no resizes.
I thought it was the difference of the resolution: screen was 72 dpi, and maybe pages uses higher dpi? So I converted my images to 300 dpi, and they are still blurred after insertion.
Thanks everyone!
I am really in a hurry since this user manual is going to be printed in the next few days~!
thanks!

Where are they blurred? In Pages or on the print out?
If in Pages, are you sure you display the pages at 100% (identical to the screen shot)?
I am not able to reproduce your problem unless I either resize the screen shot in the Pages document or change the page view to something different from 100%.
I do not have a printer, but my guess is that the printout would look fine, even if you resize the screen shot, so it looks blurry on screen.

Import a pages document into a pages document

In a report I'm writing in Pages, I want to append several other Pages documents into an appendix at the end. I can't figure how to insert such entire documents, with formatting, headers, footers, etc. intact.

Menu > View > Page Thumbnails
Also
Toolbar > View > Page Thumbnails
You can Copy and Paste these within the document or into the Thumbnails of other documents. So just open the two documents and copy over the Thumbnails.
One caveat, both documents must have the same page dimensions and orientation.

Can I import a .pages document to iweb?

I am trying to load a sizable document (250-300 MB) into a website so it can be viewed instead of downloaded. The document is originally created in .pages format, but can easily be changed to a PDF. I can upload it to iWeb or another application if necessary. How can I make this work?

Phil ~ Welcome to the Support Communities. To avoid your large doc being a part of iWeb's Domain file, I suggest you convert it to a PDF and post it to the free Posterous. Then link to that post from your iWeb site. The PDF will automatically be displayed in a convenient viewer, for example:

How do i convert mac pages to pdf and then edit

How do I covert a mac pages document to a pdf and then edit it?

It can't be done using Adobe Reader.
I'm not sure what "Mac Pages" is but typically, you would make changes to those original documents and THEN create a pdf. Editing a pdf can be anything from tedious to impossible depending on what you are trying to edit.

Inserting Pages documents

Can anyone tell me how to insert, what would seem a very basic question, how to insert one Pages document into another?
Thanks,
paul

Hullo Paul:
The reason you can't just import one Pages document into another (e.g.; via "Insert / Choose" is that in this case, all the Pages formatting information would be duplicated. It would require a software update to strip such duplication for a straightforward import facility. You might care to request this through Pages Feedback. But it's fairly simply done through copy and paste as things are.
I'd suggest using Exposé to switch between the two documents you want to combine.
In the source document, use edit / select all (shortcut command / a) then edit / copy (command / c) - then switch to your target document and paste (command /v). The pasted document will then take on the page settings of your target document, but conserve all other formatting.
If you have changed your fonts or styles in the target document, you can "paste and match style" as these stand at the point of insertion in your new document. These options are really more flexible than simply inserting one document into another - so arguably worth the slight complication.
Regards.

How to get pages document from mac book to iphone 5 to send in a email

How can I transfer pages document from mac book pro to iphone 5. I want to email documnets from phone.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

I've been working with documents in Pages and recently downloaded Word for Mac. Upon opening Pages documents with Pages, the documents appear corrupt. Much of the font has been replaced with boxed little pictures - yet they are identified as times new roman. What do I do?

You got the new iphone????? I have same problem. I transferred audiobooks to device to find no audiobooks on device (despite it being in iTunes as if it was). Have you found a solution????? I even tried to change import settings on format transfer but hasn't worked.

Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x? If not, what is the alternative? Concrete issue is that I have received a .pages document and need to edit. Many thanks

Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x?
If not, what is the alternative?
Concrete issue is that I have received a ".pages" document and need to edit. I am running Mac Pro with OS X 10.7.
Many thanks

It is important that you determine if the .pages document originated from Pages ’08, Pages ’09, Pages v1.7.2 (IOS 6), or was exported as Pages ’09 from Pages v5+ on OS X Mavericks. If it meets one of these criteria, then you can edit the .pages document on your Lion machine with Pages ’09 from the iWork ’09 DVD. Pages documents can not be opened with TextEdit, but can be viewed with Preview.
On the otherhand, if the .pages document was created with Pages for iCloud beta, Pages v2.2.1 (IOS 7), or Pages v5+ on Mavericks, then your only recourse is to edit the document with Pages for iCloud beta. Since Fall 2013, Apple changed the .pages document format into something even more malevolently proprietary. Apple word processing products since this timeframe, are subsets of the Pages ’09 features/functionality, and will filter out content they do not support.
A Pages ’09 document is usually a compressed (zip) folder archive that looks like a regular file to the Finder. The newer Pages family of products only write out a package that to the Finder, also appears to be a regular file, but in reality it is a folder. The newer Pages documents must be zipped before placed on non-Apple filesystems.

Getting Pages document from Mac to Pages on iPad

I have been trying to import Pages documents from my Mac to my iPad throughh iTunes and I'm having no success. I go to apps in iTunes and under file sharing Pages shows up. I click add and navigate to the file. It seems to do something but when I go to Pages on the iPad it isn't there. However in iTunes I can still copy it back to my computer from the iPad even though it couldn't be found on the iPad itself. Also I thought that the tutorial document should be visible in iTunes as well where the file sharing is but it doesn't show up either. This situation also occurs with Numbers and Keynote as well. Any ideas?

On the iPad open Pages and go to the screen where all your Pages document are... You will see a folder in the upper right. Click on that folder you should find your imported Pages document. Click on the document and it will import to Pages. The same holds true with keynote and numbers.
You can delete the document from that folder if you don't need to import it again...this will save space on your iPad.

Import pages document into iPad

OK, how do you now get a pages document off your Mac and onto an iPad? It appears that this function had been removed. Latest iTunes and Pages for both Mac and iPad. Thanks.

You can use File Sharing to import (Add File) files from computer to iPad.
